Some migh recall this mount macro
discussion
and my raging about
gametoolttip
. This is to lets you know that I, finally, finished my random mount addon!
@H5: I recall you
asked
if I would find out how to scan for mount speed to share. Well, just download the addon and check yourself :P
You can get it
here
.
This addon will allow you to mount with a random mount. Unlike most other addons of this kind, this one is dynamic. It doesnt check via a set list of mounts, so no need to update it every time Blizzard add a new mount ingame.
It also allow you to "remove" from the randomness drake and mammoth mounts (because they are huge and I know alot people do not like to ride them).
Read the Readme.txt to know how to set it up.

What's the difference between what yours does and what Livestock does?

About 1,287 lines of useless sh!t (and that just in the main .lua) is what I'd say but I may be biased as someone who doesn't like addons doing more than what I want them to.

Ha. Well, admittedly the reason I use Livestock is its excellent support for Druid forms (the author's main being a Druid). I can have it cover Flight Form, Aquatic Form, Cat Form, Travel Form and my mount or mounts of choice in one button without me having to stuff all of that in a macro. It also covers all the special cases (which are certainly less now than before, but still). As for the rest of the addon (and honestly the random mount part as well since I always use Anzu for my land mount), I don't really need it.
If I didn't program all day at work I would probably be able to collect the motivation to write it myself. Alas.

You use an addon for your forms? :O
When a simple macro does the job:
#showtooltip Aquatic Form; Swift Flight Form; Travel Form
/cast !Aquatic Form; !Swift Flight Form; !Travel Form

Include a flying mount (Ironbound Proto Drake) and land mount (Raven Lord) in that.

Sure it has been posted a thousand times, but here is a useful one-button druid shift and mount macro
/cast Travel Form;Rivendare's Deathcharger;Swift Flight Form
/dismount
/cancelform
and for non-droods, your one-button-er is...(change the 51 to the number of your land mount in your mount page)
/script local m=GetZoneText() if (m=="Dalaran") and (GetSubZoneText()~="Krasus' Landing") then CallCompanion("MOUNT", 51);end
/cast Violet Proto-Drake; Mekgineer's Chopper
/dismount

Why would you use a flying mount when you have flight form :O

Your solution doesn't include cat form indoors nor does it include aquatic form or a flying mount.

I did the work to get the meta so I'm damn well going to use the mount.
Until it's possible to fit all of that into a macro along with a #showtooltip line that properly displays what it's going to do, I'm stuck using an addon that does it internally.

That second one is obsolete. Krasus' landing/dalaran now respond correctly to IsFlyableArea()
Use the version in the thread in my signature if you want to use mount slot numbers.

The only mount cooler then the irondound in terms of looks is the rusted one. Plus it's always fun to make other people jealous.
Agreed. I love them both.
@pelf: But it has a cast time :O
I usually ride to Krasus, mount the drake and fly to my raid. That's about it.
The ironbound is totally worth the cast time. Plus it is 310 while the form is 280. So i guess u'll be if are planning on flying for some time.
That's not really correct anymore since if you even
have
a 310, your flight form increases to 310 as well.
